AI-suggested

A patch is available for this vulnerability. Users should apply the official fixes provided by their distribution or libsoup maintainers to the affected versions. No additional mitigation steps are indicated beyond applying the patch.

Description

A vulnerability in libsoup2.4 causes the Proxy-Authorization header to be incorrectly attached to HTTPS requests after a CONNECT tunnel is established through an HTTP proxy. This flaw allows the destination server to capture proxy credentials, leading to information disclosure. The issue affects multiple specific versions of libsoup2.4 prior to fixed releases. The vulnerability has a CVSS 3.1 score of 6.5 (medium severity). A patch is available to address this issue.

Impact

The vulnerability leads to unintended disclosure of proxy credentials to the destination HTTPS server after a CONNECT tunnel is established. This can compromise the confidentiality of proxy authentication information but does not affect integrity or availability.
